Yes. I have now joined the millions of other newlywed/young mothers that blog about life. I've always enjoyed reading about others' lives, and now is the time to add my own voice to the story. And so begins, the story of me and our freshly started family.
After getting married almost six months ago (wow, where did the time go, right?!), J and I packed up our little Mazda in a modern day version of the Oregon Trail. We got to skip out on fording the rivers, losing our lead oxen, and dying of snakebites, thankfully. Yet, here we are 2,000 miles away from our hometown while J finishes his Civil Engineering Degree at Rose Hulman in little Terre Haute, IN. Although every middle and high-schooler I have taught so far thinks that I was crazy to come from "cool" Oregon to the "Terrible Haute," I'm finding that I like it just fine. There are plenty of coffee shops, lovely people, aweful drivers, unpredictable weather that I sort of love, and more trees than I had expected.
The one thing that the town doesn't have, though, is family. And I miss you all. And since I decided my facebook status was probably not the place to fully fill everyone in on my life's happenings, I have created this blog to keep everyone in the loop, to help me feel a little closer, and to show you all into the window of my world.
